are you caught up? you could get spoiled because this thread is OK for everything TV that has aired

to answer your question yeah I think so, she "saved" him like she promised but he is pretty much over

he's talking about the wording on the chart above. i can't believe i just tried to defend it.

 

[iNvid02]

oh right, chart is already out of date

with a show like this I think you need a new chart every few episodes

 

[Speevy]

I was actually referring to the word comma.

It's coma.

I wonder what will become of Snow. If he catches up with his company, it seems he is going to be in some deep trouble. He was left to execute her, then they both disappear. So when/if they find him and he is with her, alive, then how else could they react but be crazy pissed or even think him a traitor of sorts? The girl would obviously have to die also. That seems too mundane to justify this sidetrack to the story. Something else or some twist must come out of it.

To be honest I thought it was kinda weird how quickly the others left Snow. It seemed quite obvious that he was reluctant to kill her, and considering that a single escaped Wildling could compromise their whole mission, it seemed like a weird risk to take.

 

[Discotheque]

Girl who's playing Ygritte is too pretty? Oh hell no, I'm not into that sharp knees face at all.

But at least we have Robb's girl to look at :3

 

[iNvid02]

they have been good with the casting, everyone looks just right
the women look good but not too good, could be the makeup though

 

[Nizz]

Quick question, anyone know if Doreah (the lighter skinned one of Dany's handmaidens) was seen at that massacre? I don't remember seeing her dead at that scene, nor do I remember if she was with Dany at the time.

I don't think she's in the episode at all IIRC.

 

[iNvid02]

I don't remember seeing her either, the Indian chick seems to be the only casualty

maybe she and jorah escaped, or if he did it maybe he took her hostage

Was this posted here yet?

lol so true.

 

[blahblah...blah]

Which one's the hot one who taught Dany how to please Drogo in season 1? Goddamn, if she's dead, I'm going to Qarth myself to fuck their shit up.

She was the one who spoke English or "common tongue". I think the one who died was the one who only spoke Dothraki (if thats how its spelt). I need to watch that episode again at some point.

I was quite pleased to see her return in this episode. She's the most attractive female to appear on the show thus far.

Although the one defel is talking about was a close second.

That's Doreah (Roxanne McKee). I didn't see her among the bodies either, hopefully she's safe.

I really don't find the nurse / potential miscreant for the Lannisters that attractive. Something far more appealing about the ginger wilding, for example.

But Rose Leslie has an upper-middle class English accent, my weakness (and I say that as someone with a very similar accent, it's underrated goddamnit!)

That episode was just unsettling.

I absolutely love the actress playing Cat. She has the poise of a real lady of the North yet she is profoundly motherly. That "oh you" look she gave Robb was one of the highlights of the episode.

Yeah she's terrific.

Oh snap. All I could see was how similar it was to Ned Stark execution, but this is obviously what they had in mind when they made that episode. Both of them had trouble finding their place in the Stark family, yet they turned out so differently.

 

[Lothar]

I still really love this show, but not having read the books it's impossible to follow. Very frustrating.
This episode really upset me last night. It was very good and very engaging but put me in a bad mood.

What are you having trouble following?

Tip: Watch the Behind the Episodes feature right after each show. They should all be on youtube. The creators go into detail on characters motivations and feelings on 3 of the most important scenes every episode.

If you have On Demand with Cox Cable, clicking on any episode will give you both the episode and the Behind the Scenes feature.

Of course one is a hot as fuck redhead girl and the other is a crusty old man that just spit in Theon's face. That's a little unfair.

Yeah one of the best actors in the show. She's played her role perfectly since the first episode.

I also kind of have a crush on her :3 <3

Amusing (maybe) anecdote: I've had people find my website when googling "michelle fairley nude".

 

[Battersea Power Station]

She was the one who spoke English or "common tongue". I think the one who died was the one who only spoke Dothraki (if thats how its spelt). I need to watch that episode again at some point.

The Dothraki maid, in the previous episode, seemed to show some negative feelings towards Daenerys, maybe even anger (when they were talking about the non-Dothraki dress). I wonder if it was a foreshadowing of a potential betrayal.

Also, Littlefinger either recognized Arya or is going to investigate the cup-bearer girl further. He's too much of an information maven to leave it be.

And Cat is one of my favorite characters. She's like a perfect example of how to write strong, independent women without making them annoying (and this is coming from a Skylar White defender).

I know it's not the right order, but you can easily caption that as:

Was I the only one thinking of Theon's messy execution when Ygritte said to Jon to strike her head off clean or she'll haunt him?

 

[Magnus]

you definitely weren't

 

[spirity]

As a slight aside, many many centuries ago when faced with the executioner, it was common practice to tip the guy with the axe to ensure a good job. If you didn't tip, or just didn't tip well enough, he could make sure the chop wasn't clean.

At the Tower of London, James Scott the Duke of Monmouth refused to tip the executioner. Big mistake. After 8 swings of his axe, Scott stopped whimpering and fell silent but his head was still attached. The job was finished because a knife was produced to make the final cut.

Again at the Tower, The Countess of Salisbury was struck 11 times before her head finally came off. This was really because the executioner was a n00b and his first strike missed her neck altogether, instead going deep into her shoulders. He had to chase her down in front of a gasping crowd. They got the price of admission that day.

If you were to ever doubt the things you see in GoT as being overly dramatic or unnecessarily cruel, forget it. The Middle Ages were far, far worse.

 

[SolidusDave]

Yeah, actually that's what pissed me off most during that scene.
It was no clean kill like with Ned, the poor guy had to suffer greatly with Theon hacking away with his little sword, trying to get the head off.

 

[Tacitus_]

Yeah, Theon should've used a sharp axe or a big twohander (or valyrian steel but that's a bit out of the question). Then again this again points out how out of his element Theon is.

This is damn fucking rad.

HIT-GIRL - The variant cover for the first issue of Hit-Girl from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. This was one of those assignments where I would have paid THEM to work on it. Inspired by Game of Thrones, an early sketch had an impaled Joffrey-like head on the ground

 

[JGS]

Was I the only one thinking of Theon's messy execution when Ygritte said to Jon to strike her head off clean or she'll haunt him?

I was also thinking how much more skill Jon had in holding the blade. I also remembered what Ned said about the significance of being the executioner.

 

[iNvid02]

maybe theon should have shot a couple of arrows into his neck for good measure

 

[JGS]

I'm having a hard time trusting the Wilding girl. I keep having flashbacks to the witch Dany helped. Do we know if her family was just massacred before her eyes?

 

[Funky Papa]

I wish some YouTube cunt didn't spoil the entire Ygritte thing for me a few weeks ago. Fuck.

Everybody should use the herp-derp plugin. Removing the idiocy from YouTube makes the site a lot more enjoyable.

 

[Balehead]

Yeah this series seems to bring out the worst in people, but on top of that you can't even check the official youtube channel of GoT without getting slightly spoiled. Perfect example of that is the trailer for Season 1's DVD release. As for the comments, if the video opens in 480p then the comments aren't visible to me anyways without scrolling down, learned a lesson from watching a different show years ago when the comments ruined the whole ending.
